Sources told the NFL Network that the Raiders also added money to Brown's previous contract with the Steelers. His new three-year deal is worth $50.125 million with a max value of about $54 million. His deal contains $30.125 million in guaranteed money.

Brown originally signed a five-year contract with the Steelers on Feb. 27, 2017, with a $17 million annual price tag. The wideout's deal takes that and turns it into a contract worth $19.8 million each year.

The disgruntled wide receiver and the Steelers had a tumultuous end to last season and it carried over into the offseason. Brown announced his farewell from the Steelers on social media and requested a trade Feb. 12.
